Classified secret information the reporter cant tell who it is because as mr. Gotti speaking on condition of anonymity, it should be termed im breaking the law and dont want to be outed. Sometimes. I think there are other motives but that can be one of them. Its your statement to us then that the fbi was consistent in its assessment that denigrate the u. S. Electoral process, hurt hillary and her potential candidacy and coincidentally, concurrent across all of that they intended to help trump. Thats your testimony . Correct. I yield back. Mr. King. Thank you, mr. Chairman. If you can yield a few minutes into the next round, ill start with this and make the comment. I thank director comey and admiral rogers for what i believe is the cooperation youve always given the committee. Thank you for your service. Director comey, were in a predicament here today. I understand your situation where you cant comment on the investigation and yet we have various scenarios laid out which could go on f
After clinton. I think when the president elect, whos also the head of your party now, joe, tells you before hes even inaugurated, he doesnt wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content, to the members. And i think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of americans dont find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if donald trump can help her heal, than perhaps thats a good thing. I do look, i think hes thinking of many Different Things as he prepares to become the president of the united states, and things that sound like the campaign arent among them. Well, the reverse order earned rebukes from conservative republicans. Here was senator Lindsey Graham this morning. Well, so much for locking her up, i guess. I can understand wanting to put the election behind us and heal the nation, but i do hope that all the things that donald trump said about how crooked she was, that we just dont let it go without some serious effort to see if the
Were questioning that statement, was it too tough, maybe it wasnt tough enough. Theyve been doing this to our country for a long time, for many years. And its about time that somebody stuck up for the people of this country and for the people of other countries. So if anything, maybe that statement wasnt tough enough. And were backed by a 100 by our military. Were backed by everybody. And were backed by many other leaders. And i notice that many senators and others today came out very much in favor of what i said. But if anything, that statement may not be tough enough. What would be tougher than fire and fury . Well, youll see. Youll see. President , is one of the options being considered we dont talk about that. I never do. Im not like the other administration that would say were going into mosul in four months. I dont talk about it. Well see what happens. Butic tell you that what theyve been doing and what theyve been getting away with is a tragedy. And it cant be allowed. Mr. Presi
Determine who can fill key posts in the new administration. In the case of donald trump, the first president elect in history with zero background in public service, the meetings fall into two separate categories. Theres the peoples business and then theres the trump Family Business. And some meetings have even blurred the line between the two. For example, today, talking points memo circulated a report from argentina where trump has an Office Building project held up by permit requirements and other road blocks. When the president called president elect trump to congratulate him on his election, trump asked him to deal with what was holding up the project. They deny the trump venture was discussed but the truth is, we have no way of knowing for sure whether the president elect brought up his own private business during a phone call with a foreign leader in his role as president elect. We do know, thanks to photos spent on twitter, trump spent time meeting with these guys. Thats not a
Election. That ad, which borrows heavily from Hillary Clintons 20083 00 a. M. Phone call ad comes from the campaign of marine le pen. Shes the leader of frances far right. A party whos image shes tried to sanitize since inheriting its leadership from her father, a holocaust denier with nazi ties. She promises, too, as the New York Times put it, protect not just france, but frenchness. Thats because the outcome of todays voting will be a bellwether to the extent of the wave of nationalism which swept donald trump into power has taken hold throughout the western world. It could also decide if france follows britain with a frexit and the withdrawal of france from gnat to nato. The terrorist attack seized by pen. Donald trump told the Associated Press that the incident will, quote, probably help her win because she is the candidate strongest on borders. Thank you both for being here. Chris, i will start with you. How is it looking for the leading four candidates and could you tease out for
